Ok, so they do the same for reproducibility (each thread has its own random
state), but the DCMT also generates almost independent streams. I believed
rand_r was just rand(3) serialized with a mutex.

By the way, we should get DCMT into SciPy or NumPy now that the licence is
changed to BSD. It should be trivial to use it together with randomkit.
